Simon, your images are beautiful! I will post my little pic of sleeping squirrel when I get down to it.
And thanks for organizing this, it's great to finally be able to put some faces to nicknames.
Thank you guys for the support, due to the monsoon season there isn't much subject available. If you guys are keen again, I shall organise another with a better array of subjects, or you guys can join me in a butterfly trek/hunt at macritchie
and I even got a chance to add another species to my collection #208

Simon, jwuog, Justin,
Nice to meet all you guys. Those were great shots.
Can't wait to get my hands on a DSLR and learn to shoot like that!
Nice spider, now wait for Luenny to post it.

All the shots are so cool!!! I love the ant shot! The bronze shine makes the ant looks like it has a coat of fur!

hope to see more pix
Exellent pics, Simon!
The spider has beautiful markings. Is it harmful?

my reference didn't mention about the venom of the spider, perhaps they are harmless to humans. Also found out how to differentiate the st andrew's spider, is by looking at their web construction. the female will have an outstanding X stitch while the male has none
wa lau. damn swee....
Damn regret not going today.. can we organize anyone soon? need to learn from the experts here. got lens but dont know how to shoot properly.
I am into Plecos now...

soon? now rainy season. My kind of macro is different from fish photography :P
Wow! Those are very nice shots Simon. Like that butterfly and the grasshopper one a lot. My grasshopper shots are always on green leave so the subject doesn't stand out. Yours is on nice orange/yellow flower. Cool! Oh sure, call me when you're going macritchie, you've got my number and I still have a lot to learn.
Richard,
Now you're giving me a lot of stress. I have not even look at the photos yet. I went back, change the water for my 5 tanks and scrub the tanks as well. Then go out with the family. Wah, still have not look at it on the PC yet.

Simon... if we bash.. sure got insects one... just that some may not like bashing..haha..
maybe next saturday i go bash at ammo dump again..so long never been there liao.. see what i can find..haha..
Agree with Wynx. If your photos are not good, then I think I'll just hide mine under my bed and not show anybody.
Darn! Next week I'll be in Penang. If not can go bash with you guys.

Hahaha ... tickets already bought. Anyway, going back home to see some friends and family. Hopefully will have time to go shooting - instead of eating all the time.
Ok, manage to look at the photos during lunch and manage to share these 3 first - I really need longer lunch time.
St Andrew's cross spider - thanks to Simon for pointing it out to me.
For this one, I try to take both spiders in 1 shot but cannot get my tripod to reach and the place is pretty high up too so I'll have to settle for this. Hope you don't mind.
This one I try to show the web - which is not so successful. I think it'll be better if there are some mists on the web.
I think I should start using the tripod more. Getting too lazy already.

Wah, I just realize that Simon's shots are either ISO 400 or 800. I must say the noise control is very nice. Mine are all ISO 100. The noise level on the D200 is horrible.

Luenny
you shot at ISO 100? care to share the settings on the photos? Apologise if I sound harsh, but I find the lighting too harsh on the subject and a black background. I'm also assuming it is due to low ISO and fast shutterspeed.
